Campus Clips for Oct. 29

Here are some brief items about happenings at Chico State University and Butte College:

Butte College now offers new degrees with guaranteed transfer to California State Universities.

The college offers 17 associate in arts for transfer and associate in science for transfer degrees.

The degrees offer classes students are required to take, so they will only need to take upper-division courses after transferring to a State University.

The CSUs within a student's residential area, such as Chico State University, are given priority admission consideration.

Campus Equity Week in California kicked off Monday at Chico State, a weeklong protest of the usage of the low-paid lecturer job classification.

The Beta Omega Chapter of Phi Kappa Tau at Chico State has organized a haunted house as a philanthropic event benefitting children.

The fraternity's haunted house is open from 7-10 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday at 611 W. Fifth St. Tickets are $5 at the event and all proceeds will go toward the "Serious Fun" children's camps.

The Butte College Associated Students Chico Center student lounge will be transformed into a haunted house 6-9 p.m. Thursday and 5-9 p.m. Friday.

This year's haunted house theme, "A Very Wicked Wizard of Oz," will be filled with live actors and special effects.

A safe and sober Harvest Fair will be hosted on Halloween night outside the Haunted House. The fair will include music, games, pumpkin decorating and food from local food trucks.

The event is free to Butte College students with a valid activity card and a $2 donation per person is requested from the public. All proceeds will be donated to the Boys & Girls Clubs of the North Valley teen program.
